Chapter 24- Aaron and Jermaine

  A few weeks after Aaron recovers from him and Aidan's sparring match, Jermaine comes up to him.

  "Aaron, would you like to shadow me for a day? It's nothing serious, you just get to follow me around for a day."

  Aaron looks to the sky a second.

  "Sure, sounds like a plan."

  Throughout the day, Jermaine and Aaron do small things around the city.

  One thing they did was help a merchant set up his shop in the center of the Middle Ward.

  The two were paid in a foreign currency that wasn't worth anything, but they still took it.

  Later in the day, there was a small fight breaking out in a bar, so Jermaine stepped in.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  The fight stopped just because Jermaine stepped into the bar.

  In the evening, after helping a fisherman dock his boat, Jermaine asks a question.

  "Aaron, do you have anywhere to sleep?"

  Aaron looks down before replying.

  "No, not tonight, I don't have the money to stay in the inn where everyone else is, I also can't stand the beds there."

  Jermaine perks up, quickly responding.

  "That's good, I was going to be eating alone tonight, I guess I have someone to eat with now."

  Aaron smiles and silently agrees.

  Later that day, Jermaine and Aaron sit alone at a long dinner table, with a well prepared meal in front of them.

  After a few minutes of eating silently, Jermaine breaks the silence.

  "So, is anyone waiting for you at home?"

  Aaron gets a slightly depressed look on his face before responding.

  "No, I haven't had anyone to go home to for a while now."

  Jermaine wears a thoughtful look on his face.

  "Well, do you want to come on a mission with me?"

  "It's in a little while, it'd be like a vacation, just follow me around while i talk to important people."

  Aaron immediately responds.

  "Yeah, I'll go."
